The level of customer service and satisfaction at the Clarion exceeded our expectations. Staff were incredibly helpful and so friendly. We only stayed one night and were upgraded to a penthouse suite for my son’s birthday who left a beautiful birthday message for him in our room. The pool was a little bit chilly but lots of fun nonetheless, breakfast was delicious and everything was just wonderful and so accommodating. Thanks for a beautiful staycation in Melbourne and we’ll see you guys again in the future for sure.

just a quality all round place to stay. For the price and location I felt like I had my money's worth. The breakfast I thought was a bit expensive at $38 but if that's all I have to complain about then we're doing well! A good go to for a quiet stay in Melbourne.
